Accurate Diagnosis

Dr. Hamilton strongly believes that without an accurate diagnosis there is little chance for proper treatment. Your diagnosis is reached through detailed interviews, ongoing questionnaires and assessment. Diagnosis is based on DSM IV-V criteria.

Current Treatment

Treatments offered are evidenced based from the latest and most reliable studies (large, randomized, placebo controlled trials) as well as treatment guidelines published by the American Psychiatric Association. Options for treatment are thoroughly discussed with you and may include several options such as therapy, medications or both.

Tailored Treatment

Ongoing examination of the benefit of treatment and progress towards your goals is done through patient satisfaction questionnaires as well as rating scales developed for individual problems.

Coordination of Care

Coordination of care with your other health care providers (following HIPPA guidelines and patient preference) including your primary medical doctor, any specialists you may be seeing and other mental health providers to ensure comprehensive and safe treatment.
